Hi,
I am having serious issues playing videos on the device. The stock players (photos and movies apps) won't play anything I get through whatsapp (mostly sent from iOS devices), many vids from YouTube, nor the sample videos which were pre-loaded on the phone (?!?).
I downloaded MxPayer and VLC, which mostly solved the problem, but I'm still having problems with the YouTube app. In case it helps, here is an example of a video I can't watch (my one-year old's favorite): http://youtu.be/VMl0GbiVEyA.
The phone is brand new, arrived 4 days ago. I'm running the latest firmware (Kit Kat, build 14.4.A.0.108), which the phone prompted me to install. It is not rooted and I hope to keep it that way, at least for a while.
Any ideas? Is anybody else experiencing this?
Thanks!

I use vlc as only videoplayer (deleted all others), vlc plas all videos for me. The video you mentioned I can't see here in Germany due to copyright issues.
Thanks, but what about YouTube? How do you force the YouTube app to use VLC as the default player?

i use firefox as browser and use youtube from there. I don't use the the you tube app.
Ah, ok. Well, if anybody has a solution, that would be great. I really like using the app, would be a shame to have to use the browser.
I'd do full wipe of the Phone and start over by flashing a ftf. Z1 Compact Resource Thread -|-Rooting-BL Unlocking-Firmware & More...
Thanks, but as I said, not rooted, and trying ypto avoid going down the road of endless tweaking and customization.
I downloaded a few alternative YouTube players, and they all work fine. I'll choose one and see how it goes. Want to know if I can go " average Joe stock" user this time around.

You don't need to be rooted to flash your Phone, the flashtool would be pointless otherwise. Install the flashtool, flash a ftf, done, it's as simple as that.
Like we know all CM roms and based have that problem, videos are pixeled if you use Youtube app (v5), or watch videos using web. All except 1 rom, the MIUI of Teddytsen (CM10.1). In that rom videos looks perfect, not pixeled.
I've found a workaround for see video on Youtube (v5, remember) not pixeled. For example if i'm on twitter (Talon app) and there is a tweet with a youtube video, if i open the video itsn't not pixeled. And more, if i open that video link using Youtube app the video neither is pixeled, and now i can see all videos with Youtube app perfectly. Only when i close Youtube app and open it again the videos are pixeled again. Is so strange
Really is not possible fix it? Why MIUI rom hasn't that problem?
Is anyone having problems viewing videos on snapchat or vine, especially when the person who shot the video was using an iPhone 6.? I've tried different roms, but nothing worked. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try a different video player app from the playstore.
What about vevo, YouTube, dolphin, bleacher report app? Tried any of those? Flash isn't supported by anything but dolphin and that's still unstable.
